Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west 站在海洋与太阳烧西低

Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast 像火在海绵体黑暗兽的心脏

With my beliefs and possessions, stopped at the frontier in my chest 与我的信念和财产，在我的胸口停在边境

At the edge of my country, my back to the sea, looking east 在我的国家的边缘，我回到了大海，东望

   

Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod 在哪里寻找真相了一个眼色，并点头进行

And where power and position are equated with the grace of God 并在权力和地位都等同于上帝的恩典

These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast 这些时间是饥荒的灵魂，而感官这是一个盛宴

From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east 从我国的边缘，你看到远处，东望

   

Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon 饥饿的午夜，饥饿中午的行程

Hunger in the mansion, hunger in the rented room 饥饿的豪宅，饥饿在出租房内

Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page 饥饿在电视上，饥饿的打印页上

And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the laughing and the rage 还有的下方的笑，愤怒神大饥荒

In the absence of light 在没有光的

And the deepening night 而晚上深化

Where I wait for the sun 我在那里等到太阳

Looking east 东望

   

How long have I left my mind to the powers that be? 多久了，我离开我的脑海里是这样的权力？

How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me? 它需要多长时间来寻找更高的功率朝着我吗？

   

Power in the insect 功率在昆虫

Power in the sea 海上的权力

Power in the snow falling silently 电源在雪花飘落默默

Power in the blossom 电源在开花

Power in the stone 电源在石

Power in the song being sung alone 电源中的歌曲被传唱孤独

Power in the rain 电源在雨中

Power in the sunlight and the hurricane 电源在阳光和飓风

Power in the silence 电源在寂静

Power in the flame 功率在火焰

Power in the sound of the lover's name 电源在爱人的名字的声音

The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released 日出的力量和祈祷所释放的力量

On the edge of my country, I pray for the ones with the least 在我的国家的边缘，我祈祷那些用最少的

   

Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon 饥饿的午夜，饥饿中午的行程

Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom 饥饿在宴会上，饥饿的新娘和新郎

Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page 饥饿在电视上，饥饿的打印页上

And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age 并有年龄的问题，下面是上帝大饥荒

And an absence of light 而一个没有光

Where I wait for the sun 我在那里等到太阳

Looking east 东望
